As we age, collagen is gradually lost over time which leads to relaxation of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, prolonged exposure to UV light, smoking, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalances and stress can accelerate the development of wrinkles.
With forehead wrinkles and frown lines, the repeated contraction of facial muscles leads to the formation of skin wrinkles. The more you use your facial muscles, the deeper the wrinkle grooves will be.

RF Sublime™ Skin Firming & Tightening
Sublime™ is an effective and non-invasive way to promote elasticity and create more naturally firm skin. This procedure helps to tighten lax skin and create a more contoured appearance. It is perfect for those who suffer from deep wrinkles, folds, droopy eyelids, jowls, and any general loose skin on the face and neck. Sublime treatments also promote the production of collagen.
The goal of Sublime™ is not to resurface but to tighten and contour the skin. Working from the inside out, Sublime™ combines the technologies of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energy and deep infrared heat to permeate through to the dermal layers of skin, in order to create new collagen and elastin. As we age, skin naturally becomes lax and starts to droop, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Although this is a fact of life, more than 30 million women are concerned about developing a double chin, sagging jawline, and sagging skin on the neck also known as “turkey neck”.
Sublime™ is suitable for individuals with: deep wrinkles, folds, drooping eyelids, baby fat, nasolabial folds, chins, and generally loose skin on the face and neck.
RF Sublative™ Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing
Sublative™ is an effective treatment for those who suffer from skin texture irregularities caused by acne scarring, wrinkles, fine lines, large pores or stretch marks. It is also effective in eliminating hyperpigmentation such as sunspots or age spots.
Sublative™ treatments work to resurface the skin from the inside out by utilizing the power of fractionated bipolar radio frequency (RF). Compared to other resurfacing treatments, which commonly use harsh laser light technologies to penetrate skin. Sublative™ is able to reach deep into the dermal layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, without disrupting the epidermis. The application head is comprised of many multi-electrode pins, which administer the bi-polar RF energy to the skin.
Each time these pins come into contact with skin, it creates a grid like pattern on the surface. The dots of this grid are where the RF energy has punctured the skin, and the surrounding tissue is what stimulates the collagen. Essentially, the skin is tricked into healing wounds that were intentionally delivered. Results can appear immediately after treatment, however they become more noticeable in the coming weeks. Since the skin that had been stimulated was deep within the dermis, it takes time for that layer to come to the surface. This allows you to reap the benefits of your Sublative™ treatment for months after each session. As the weeks pass, skin becomes more smooth and rejuvenated, with less visible texture.
Skin problems that can be effectively solved: acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, growth lines, stretch marks, depigmentation (such as dark spots or age spots).
